Facilitating circadian comfort in a smart aircraft environment

Abstract

A suite management system is provided. The suite management system includes a controller. The controller is configured to obtain passenger preferences from a passenger occupying a suite, obtain circadian data from the passenger, analyze the circadian data to identify one or more changes to the suite to align with the passenger preferences, and, responsive to identifying the one or more changes, automatically adjusting one or more electronic devices within the suite to align with the passenger preferences.

         10 . The suite management system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 analyze the circadian data to identify at least one of a suggestion, a reminder, or an alert send to the passenger; and   responsive to identifying the at least one of the suggestion, the reminder, or the alert, automatically send the at least one of the suggestion, the reminder, or the alert to the passenger.   
     
     
         11 . An aircraft, the aircraft comprising:
 a suite; and   a suite management system deployed within the suite, the suite management system comprising:
 a controller, the controller configured to:
 obtain passenger preferences from a passenger occupying the suite; 
 obtain circadian data from the passenger; 
 analyze the circadian data to identify one or more changes to the suite to align with the passenger preferences; and 
 responsive to identifying the one or more changes, automatically adjust one or more electronic devices within the suite to align with the passenger preferences. 
 
   
     
     
         12 . The aircraft of  claim 11 , wherein the circadian data comprises at least one of a heart rate, body temperature, sleep patterns, oxygen saturation levels, or a heart rate variability (HRV) of the passenger.
